Pilar Sanders, formerly Pilar Biggers, is an American former model and current female rapper. She initially gained public attention through her modeling work and later for her marriage to former professional athlete Deion Sanders, who played both baseball and football at the highest levels.
Pilar married Deion Sanders in 1999. The couple became a prominent feature in celebrity and sports media due to their high-profile relationship. However, their marriage began to deteriorate in the years leading up to their separation in 2011.
Deion Sanders filed for divorce in 2011, though he initially denied reports of the separation. Later that year, he confirmed that the couple had officially split. During this period, rumors surfaced alleging Pilar was involved in a romantic relationship with musician Derrick Smith. She publicly appeared to support Smith’s career, accompanying him on tours, which fueled speculation about their personal relationship. These events reportedly contributed to Deion's decision to initiate divorce proceedings.
The divorce proceedings were marked by mutual allegations of infidelity and misconduct. Pilar denied any wrongdoing and claimed that Deion was fabricating stories to avoid financial obligations. She suggested that he had engaged in extramarital affairs, including one with a 19-year-old named Aleese Staton, and asserted that he was trying to shift blame during their separation.
Conversely, Deion presented video evidence and testimonies that portrayed Pilar as being in a romantic relationship with Derrick Smith. He and others also accused her of being verbally abusive and physically confrontational, including allegations made by Deion’s daughter from a previous relationship. Pilar denied these claims.
The divorce led to a lengthy legal battle over alimony, assets, and child custody. Pilar reportedly received $5,500 per month in financial support, which she argued was insufficient, particularly as she was also managing Smith's recording studio and maintaining her own living expenses. Deion refused to contribute toward Smith’s professional expenses, asserting that it was not his responsibility.
The dispute also involved claims regarding hidden assets, such as a shared property in Dallas. Pilar claimed that Deion attempted to withhold information, while Deion produced documentation showing that her name was not on the property deed.
Pilar lost the custody battle and was not granted ownership of the marital home. She was also denied a significant alimony package. Additional allegations emerged during the proceedings, including claims from Deion’s then-girlfriend, Tracy Edmonds. Pilar accused Edmonds of public harassment, though Edmonds denied the allegations, stating that the only interaction was a wave in a parking lot. Speculation about the personal lives of Deion and Edmonds, including inappropriate behavior around the children, was also publicly denied by both parties.
During the court hearings, Pilar stated that she planned to pursue employment that allowed her more time with her children. However, the court found that she lacked a steady income and questioned her commitment to active parenting. Consequently, she was awarded limited visitation rights.
Following the divorce, Pilar expressed interest in establishing herself as a public figure independently of her former husband. When questioned in court about whether she had pursued her own professional goals, she said that she believed she was already “a star.” Although she did begin working on her career in music as a female rapper, she has yet to achieve notable commercial success in the industry.
